About 31 golfers turned up for the Ball Pool but there was no ladies’ play.

As champion, Gondwe bagged in a trophy from Veg-Delight. Robert Coombes settled for a second runner up.

“I was persistent. I trained well and was very composed during the game which I think made a difference. I commend fellow golfers for putting up such a fight,” said Gondwe.

“I am delighted to be first to win Veg-Delight Ball Pool in 2017. Despite the weather affecting our plays this period, I think as golfers we need not to give in to weather.”

Veg-Delight proprietor, Makhecha Tarang said the Ball Pool was one way of giving back and recognizing the support golfers give to his company.

“As a golfer myself, we regard ourselves- golfers- as family. It is the very same golfers who are customers of Veg-Delight and as one way of appreciating their support, we decided to sponsor this Ball Pool,” explained Tarang.

He pledged to make their golf sponsorship regular.

Captain for Blantyre Sports Club men’s Golf team, Sam Mwale said they did not take Veg-Delight sponsorship for granted.

“We started discussing about this sponsorship last year and now it has been fulfilled. Last week we failed to play due to rains but today the weather was favorable,” said Mwale.

Veg-Delight Restaurant is a vegetarian eatery situated in Blantyre town which boosts of supporting local farmers as it serves food from local farm produce.
